The last day with a visible sunspot was April 4.
Over the past reporting week, April 16 to 22, average daily solar flux
was 69, down a half point from the previous week, when the average
was 69.5.
Average daily planetary A index was 7.3 while mid-latitude A index
was 7. This was up from 6.1 and 5, mainly due to the first
geomagnetic storm of 2020, which pushed planetary A index to 18 on
April 19. That event bumped up the average.
Solar flux numbers have been soft of late, with averages over recent

probably means less rad

because of Covid-19, and this week we seem to be overwhelmed with
reports of sporadic E openings.
The last observed sunspot disappeared on April 5, so weekly average
daily sunspot numbers declined from 5.1 last week to zero this
reporting week, April 9 to 15. Average daily solar flux went from
70.2 to 69.5.
Geomagnetic indicators remain quiet as well, with average daily
estimated planetary A
